Rolandcat, if you hadn't mentioned America's Player and nipple rings, I would have thought you were talking about Dick.

Well, Jessica was easy, of course. Maybe BB is trying to help Eric get his 10 grands for his troubles since now he's a big target for eviction.

Why would Eric need to 'flatter incessantly' anyone since he's got the votes already to stay.
That was a dumb AP. I don't think he's going to try very hard. If he gets wind that Amber is switching he better pester her...

I voted 10 for Amber just to secure her vote. I think it is getting kinda old that people are still mad at Nick leaving and now want to sabotage Eric. Though I hate the AP idea, I would like to see how far Eric could get by America using the information that he doesn't have.

ETA: It also sucks because I am sure that Eric will not even try to get HOH this week because I am sure he knows that America would not chose for his best interest.

I feel truly sorry for Eric.
He did not choose to be AP and it sucks that America is trying so hard to screw up his game.

I don't know how "America" is screwing his game..so far his only obstacle is the banner, which certainly is not the whole of America.

I voted for Eric to flatter ED. Eric isn't really playing the game as America's Player. I doubt he'll ever win HOH because he's afraid of who America may want him to put up.

Thanks Sea. I'm glad Jessica was chosen, Jameka would have been bad.

I kind of like the flattery question... could work with anyone as long as he found the right way to do it. Dustin and Dick are arrogant enough to believe it, Amber would love it. Zach would like the attention. Jameka would be easy because he could go on about her morals. Jessica is a cake walk. Even Jen, Kail and Danielle might accept it. I think it's good to give him a less stressful task right now.

Found this on Usenet:
RNO article

One thing I think would be nice is to have a running tally of how Eric is doing on his tasks. We haven’t seen one, but CBS told me, “As of Thursday’s show (8/2), Eric has completed 7 of 9 America’s Player tasks.”

This seems to be the first "official" word from CBS about this but it's still confusing because our table shows 12 tasks by the 8/2 show.

He gets $10,000 for every five. I don't think he gets paid for them seperately.

I really thought Eric should have gotten credit for getting in Joe's bed....he DID get in the bed....he didn't get much reaction, but how is that Eric's fault?

Caycaye apparently he had to stay in Joe's bed until he was kicked out to get credit. Eric seemed to think Joe would never kick him out lol. I'm sure it seemed like an eternity to Eric that he was there when in fact it wasn't that long. To me the funniest parts were the comments the next day and seemed he should have gotten credit.

Also while the Nick week he didn't work really to get Kail evicted, he sure did the week before! I saw several mention that he should get credit even though he wasn't able to pull it off as he was working that hard. That may be why he didn't try that hard the week Nick left.

Daniele must be the AP choice...
He knows he's going but he's still pestering her (the word "flatter" was wrong)...

I can't get into Eric being AP. He is just too shifty for the job and he starts playing one way before he knows what America wants, then he has to switch midstream and just makes himself look bad. Like with pushing for Nick to go, and then changing to Kail for about 10 minutes, even though he knew Kail was the choice before. Then this week when he told Jess he had to promise final two to someone, that he would only be playing that person and he would really be siding with her, and then America did choose Jess. He just doesn't get it. I am suprised he hasn't told Jess he is AP since he can't keep his mouth shut, like with Amber's problems and how he told Jess the full story.

I know it must be hard in the house, but I don't like this twist and I hope he goes tonight, by the looks of it, he isn't, but I hope he does.

So Eric is pestering not flattering Dani? BB is ok with that?

ERic was handpicked to be the AP by BB and they are telling him stuff they shouldn't. You cannot convince me otherwise, Alison has jumped the shark. I don't want to watch a show that a few behind the scene people are mostly controlling.
I'll finish this season but I doubt I will tune in next summer.

Dani is not the choice this week. She was not on the list of choices to make since she is HOH and can't vote. I have no idea who the choice was because he has been talking to everyone.

I am predicting that Eric will win HOH, and put up Dick & Dani. But it will be so funny if he put up Dustin & Amber, he won't but it would serve them right for keeping somebody who can still get hoh. And I don't care about the AP thing anymore, but I won't be heartbroken if Eric stays.

Regarding the tally of AP's tasks, thank you Spear(8/8, 3:06).
When I read Eric's brother's thread at Sucks yesterday, he seemed to think it was alright if Eric is evicted now that it's so uncomfortable for him.... Brother seemed to think Eric was only a couple tasks away from making 20G. I assume he's in the know since earlier he was upset about the way BB sees as a task completed. Maybe BB agrees now that, when Jen won POV and took herself off, it should still count as "Yes, AP did get Jen on the block!".

It was rather sad to see Eric walking around with his tails between the legs last night. so, even if I really don't care about this concept of an America's Player in the BB House, I'm glad he might get to stay tonight.

I sincerely do not believe Eric will win HOH tonight as he would be forced to put up America's choice and that would scare the heck out of him. Can you imagine if we chose Jessica? Yikes! Or how about Dustin? whee.
Nah, I think he'll throw it.

He might have to win tonight. He will at least stay in the hoh competition until Dick,Zach and Jen are out of the comp. Then he would be smart to not get it but only if he gets those people out first. BB will tell him what to do and how hard to play.

Who should Eric flatter incessantly?


Well there was no mention of this task on tonights show...I take it to mean that he failed...did he even attempt this task?

I would have like to have seen who America choose.

I'm voting for him to get Jess to put up Dustin. I don't think she will but he might be able to pull it off. At least if Dustin is AC for him to try and get nommed, then ERic will know that Dustin isn't very well liked.
